Green Sandpipers, Ruff and Snipe

More of a Vlog than Blog as I've built up a few videos over the past week. I had my Rota visit to Murton to do the Webs count, and my East Haven Webs without a camera. It was just my luck at East Haven that Olive found an Osprey fishing near the tideline which is the first record of one on my Webs! 

Later and travelling light, with just my scope and Nikon P1000, I took a number of videos at Montrose Basin. When I say a number, it was 23, which after viewing at home I chose the best ones and cropped some, and used a steadying tool to remove motion caused by the wind. Some of the videos were 270 metres out, the Pink-footed Geese film maybe more.

BirdNET-Pi - Murton. I think this is an audio tool which constantly records and analysis bird song and calls
